Cory Wallace

MAJ Cory Wallace serves as a contracting officer within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, responsible for managing the acquisition and lifecycle support of armored vehicle systems and tactical ground platforms. His role is central to the agency’s mission of ensuring combat vehicle readiness through integrated acquisition, engineering, and logistics sustainment. He primarily handles complex, technically demanding contracts for military armored vehicle manufacturing, tank components, and associated survivability and mobility systems, often involving long-term sustainment and modernization efforts. His procurement activities directly support the Department of Defense’s strategic priorities in maintaining technological superiority across armored fleets. MAJ Wallace maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized defense contractors, including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC., A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration on high-integrity, mission-critical systems requiring rigorous military specifications and quality assurance protocols. His contracting approach emphasizes proven capability, sustained performance, and supply chain reliability, favoring vendors with established expertise in armored vehicle fabrication, armor integration, and avionics hardening for tactical platforms. MAJ Wallace’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on technical necessity and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the specialized nature of armored vehicle manufacturing where only a limited pool of qualified industrial base providers meets the required standards. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his awards, his contracting decisions remain compliant with all applicable federal acquisition regulations. His primary industry focus is exclusively on NAICS 336992—Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing—where he procures advanced armor systems, turret assemblies, mobility components, and integrated survivability enhancements. His technical expertise lies in the procurement of hardened vehicle platforms requiring compliance with MIL-STD and SAE standards, demonstrating deep familiarity with ground combat system engineering and lifecycle sustainment requirements.
